Question Network Issues - OnePlus Nord N200 5G

Hello, first I want to thank XDA and everyone here for all of the wonderful help that I've been given over the years silently because I've always came here if I had an issue and I haven't found one that hasn't been solved yet. So, sincerely I thank all of you. Now on to my problem. I have a OP Nord N200 5G bootloader unlocked on OOS 11 that is rooted running Orange Fox Recovery. But this problem existed before unlock, root and recovery. When I pull down the notification panel it says that I'm connected to the AT&T tower and I'm with Metro by T-mobile which sometimes it will say it's connected to Metro. When it's connected to AT&T it gets really slow, but I have service. I've done all the hard reset, network reset as well as called Metro like 6 times but nothing they've done has worked. I have been dealing with this issue from the day I've bought it and it needs fixing. Can anyone please help me with this issue? I want to thank you in advance for taking time to even read my request. Thank you. Below are screenshots showing my issue. Pics were taken literally while I was going over my post. Thanks.

Under Settings > Wi-Fi & Network > SIM & Network you can press Network Operators and toggle "Choose Automatically". It will allow you to select the carrier you want to latch onto manually. When you toggle this off, it will take anywhere from 2-5 minutes before you're presented with the list of carriers it finds. It's taken longer for me at times.

Thanks for your reply, but I've done all that already. Reset the network, flashed the stock rom and even restored a backup. I'm at a loss for this one and I've never even heard of this. I'm thinking that maybe if I install a custom rom like Lineage, it may run it on the right network the sim is on. Thank you again for your time and advice.

What do you see when you see a signal checker app? are you actually on AT&T? Maybe your in a fringe area and its roaming?

Can anyone help? - No Signal

Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?
My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.
Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.
He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.
Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.
Thanks
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.
It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.
Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
UPDATE:
I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.
Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??
Hmmmm, dilemma. lol
Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?
Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.

Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.
I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol
I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.

Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.
hey

Thanks. I have tried the same but just keep getting a vender ID, (lol spelling), error.
I would appreciate any input whether you have success or not, it just may spark an idea off.
I cant get in touch with any sales or provider as it was gifted to my bro in law. He's not that bothered about it but would like to have it working if he can.
Thanks folks.
Hey! I think I know the solution to your problem...I had exactly the same problem when I hardReseted my phone.
Go to "Start-settings-Phone-Band Select"
and then select
1.Network type : Auto
2.Band Type : "Euro" if you live in Europe, "US" if you live in USA , or "Japan" if you live in Japan.
Good luck...Let us know if it worked!

Yes that is a good suggestion because the phone will display that icon if it can't find a *usable* network, be it that the SIM doesn't allow it or if the bands don't match the selection on the phone or the bands are not usable by the phone hardware etc.
I would suggest downloading & running HTC Field Test (fieldtest.exe) with & without a SIM installed, with each network & band setting & see if it shows any towers or signal. (Normally you want Auto for both but you may not have that option or you might prefer to set to a KNOWN working band to conserve battery & minimize searching) If should show something even without SIM or with SIM lock because it's supposed to support emergency calls either way. If it shows signals with SIM but you still have same no service icon then it's likely SIM locked (although the phone should alert you to that fact) so odds are the phone hardware, rom or settings do not support whatever signals are available to you. (Btw if field test shows N/A for all the values you need to app unlock your phone)
Hope that helps.
Bill
can you share a link with HTC Field Test?Thnx

Hey all I'm having a very similar problem.
Had my HTC for some months now but in the past few days I've found that my network signal is becoming very unpredictable.
I'm also on O2 and I used to have a pretty contstant H (I presume HSDPA) connection.
Howeever im finding now the phone with go from H to 3G to GPRS to E to no signal in the course of 5 mines and round and round again!
Its very annoying as it means I cant make / received calls or texts fluently and even cut me off on a phone call too.
However usually on phone calls it will keep me connected ok till I hang up and then go to no signal.
I've checked the wireless and it is picking up networks..
Any other suggestions? I will try the field test tomorrow...
PS I know its not the network as my work blackberry is O2 and is not having this issue..
Cheers in advance!
Well, just to close my input on this thread.
I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.
I did try the band selection settings but still a no go.
I did have limited success but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.
I did check and one place, I think through the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.
Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S)
Thanks folks.

[Q] Anyone else with problems using TMobile Orange in the UK using a T - Mobile Sim?

Hi I am currently a T - Mobile customer and when I originally bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the company, I thought I could take advantage of using both the T - Mobile network and 2G services of the T - Mobile Orange Network.
However after successfully using it for the first 2 weeks, after my KE7 firmware update, I have an unbranded phone, it did not connect to the network anymore, stating, even if I manually select T - Mobile Orange in GSM mode only, Cannot registor with network, Unable to connect, then it states it is registered and yet I have emergency calls only stated and not either T - Mobile or even T - Mobile Orange. Then it will not connect to either network manually until I restart the phone.
I have since flashed my phone with various other firmwares, am currently on cognition s2 1.13, it's a great Rom, and still the same thing occurs.
I have contacted T - Mobile, they can't fix it, I have took the phone to a Samsung Repairer and they couldn't see anything wrong, stating it was a fault with Orange, as the guy in the shop's T - Mobile branded Galaxy s2 did the same.
Anyone solved the mystery, or is able to explain the issue to me?
It's doing my nut in, I have had phones like these for years, flashed them and enjoyed them, and usually work things out for myself, my last phone was an Samsung I8910, which was great with custom firmware support and I must say the Galaxy s2 is by far my favourite ever phone, but even my Samsung Omnia I8910 works properly on T - Mobile and Orange, and the latest and greatest phone won't!!
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Seeing as the cognition rom is based on I9100XXKG1, I know of a couple of forum members that have had trouble with the KG1 modem, and had to revert to the KF2 modem.
Worth a try? It won't wipe you phone of anything daft either.
List of official modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Before you do anything, can you dial*#1234# and just check what phone software is installed?
Thanks for the option Unfortunately I have tried the KE2, KE7, KF2 and KG1 Modems now, none of them have worked. It is really bizaar as the bloody thing works really well on T - Mobile, when there is coverage, plus the 3 and H is great speeds when they are in coverage, it just won't switch to Orange

one moment, I'm on t-mobile aswell.
text YES to 2121.
Homer moment: Doh, you cant text can you?
Just for reference, I'm with Orange and in my network list I have both "Orange" and "Orange and T-Mobile". I can connect to the Orange one fine, but not to the other one. It does switch to T-Mobile sometimes though. I've seen it do it.
Hi again, I have text yes to 2121, and it was working on my phone before. So yours has no issues then?

Unfortunately if I let mine automatically switch network, it switches to emergency calls only if I am out of a t mobile network range, not orange, and it used to switch to orange no problem
Then when it is in emergency calls only, I have to turn it on and off to get it to work at all, as it will not register back to T mobile
My last attempt......when you go into wireless/mobile network settings, is data roaming ticked?

Yes it is, cheers for all your help. It's very frustrating and I can't fathom it out, so cheers for trying yourself
You don't need data roaming ticked in order to use Orange. T-mobile and Orange are both considered 'home' networks.
I'm on T-Mobile without data roaming ticked and it switches automatically to Orange without any issues. Might be worth phoning t-mobile up and seeing if there's some sort of issue with your account.
I installed Lite'ning Rom and found that I couldn't connect to Orange on my unlocked tmobile sim. Turned out that I had the "com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission" apk missing.
Downloaded it here:- http://www.contentsd.nl/apk/SimServicePermission.apk
and installed it with titanium and registered ok on orange.
Hope this helps.

Hiya guys. Sorry to jump on this thread but I am having the same issue as OP. I'd just like to give you an update on what I know so far. It is a nightmare trying to speak to someone at T-Mobile who actually knows whats going on, but I was persistent and got through to an engineer who said that they are having transmitter problems in east anglia and surrounding areas...not sure if you are in that area or not. Unfortunately all the engineer said is that they are working hard to a. figure out what the problem is ang b. fix it! He also could not give me an ETA and said that the only way to get back onto the network is to reboot the phone a couple of times. Not ideal, but I though it was something to do with the VillainRom that I flashed...so here's stupid me flashing stock, bricking/unbricking the phone etc etc only to find out later that its not the phone...on the plus side I have amazing battery life now haha who would have thought ey!
Anyways, hope this information is useful to you all.

It is not a ROM issue - it is a T-Mobile/Orange fault

Absolutely right Steph, it is not ROM related.
T-Mobile have acknowledged that there is a problem with registering T-Mobile customers on T'Orange cell towers.
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now (also in East Anglia), and after a lot of perseverance I got transferred to Level 2 support (Technical Support - not Customer Support) last Monday. They said there was a 'rectifier problem' on a mast in Henny Street, near Sudbury, Suffolk at the end of June and it has had a knock-on effect on other masts in the area. It was/is a level 2 priority for fix.
I wasn't happy with that explanation as it happens all over Suffolk!
Still with the issue on Thursday, I called them again and got straight through to Level 2 as they had marked my account as an on-going problem which Customer Support (in the Philippines) couldn't handle.
While explaining in detail the 'Your SIM does not allow you to connect to this network' problem the Guy I was talking to received an internal notification that they were aware of issues registering on T'Orange cells, that they'd known about it for 72 hours, have no idea what is causing it, and no eta to fix.
I've been using a forced connection to T'Orange for the last couple of days (poor T-Mo signal in house which always caused it to hunt for T'Orange anyway). Downside of course is that it won't get a 3G signal when forced into T'Orange mode.
Still happening today so need to give them another prod...
Oh, and I found this thread searching for answers - I don't have a Galaxy S, I have a Desire. Further proof that it isn't ROM related.
I'll update when I find out more from them.
Aaron
Just spoken to them again, problem is still on-going, they are still investigating and looking for more samples of the problem to try and isolate the issue. In light of that I would suggest anyone else having this to phone them and ask for Technical Support and register the fault - the more samples they have, the better chance of getting it resolved.
In other words, they still don't know what's causing it or when they'll fix it.

[Q] Stuck with a disappearing APN problem

Yesterday I bought an i717, an unlock code so I can get it working on T-Mobile, and put the newest Cyanogenmod nightly on it.
I noticed that my data speed was stuck on Edge and found out with some searching that this was common problem. I went to this thread and have followed it's instructions but now I've hit a wall and can't figure it out.
I've flashed both the radios that should work but am getting no working results. Can anyone offer me a hand with this? I would greatly appreciate it.
I don't have T-Mobile but suggest try different ROM. Also make sure have most recent twrp

I'll give that a shot, thanks
Thanks for the reply. I tried all that, new TWRP and all kinds of different ROMs but the problem persists. I did notice one thing however, and that was when the phone had the ROM flashed on it, brand new (like just after a factory reset), 4G worked really well. That is up until I turned the wifi on. Turning the wifi back off, and/or restarting, and/or clearing cache and dalvik will not get the 4G connection back. I'm at a loss. Also if I try flashing a different radio I'll have the disappearing APN problem. So for now I'm stuck with EDGE.
What other options could fix this? Could the build prop be making a fuss? I don't really know where to go.
It sounds like your sim isn't a 4g provisioned sim. The APN would stick if the sim was appropriate.

Tho I guess a new SIM card could be worth a shot.
This is "The Answer Post"
I got it! It was in the mobile network options. Since this is an ATT phone with an ATT radio I had to think a little differently, since I'm used to T-Mobile settings. The "Data Roaming" and "National Data Roaming" check boxes were unchecked. Again, being an ATT radio I guessed that these needed to be on. Once doing that I went down to network operators to manually select "T-Mobile" as my network. Once I did, voila! 4G connectivity now works like a charm.
Just wanted to let the internet know, in case someone else needs this.
Good save!

PRL problem, stuck in 3G

Background: I did something stupid on a recent business trip and now I'm afraid I've permanently messed up my SIM on my Note 2.
After experiencing poor 4G reception a coworker suggested I tried dialing *228, option 2, to update my roaming capabilities. I've used this method on many previous Verizon phones so I didn't hesitate to do so. Little did I know (I should have researched first) that this wasn't necessary on an LTE phone.
What's happened now is it appears my phone is stuck in 3G mode. I've tried going into my network settings (currently running the Liquid Smooth 2.7 ROM) to toggle between network modes and haven't had any luck. I've also tried pulling the battery and SIM for a few minutes without any results there either. I didn't have any luck finding the right "phone info" app (the ones I find on Play aren't what I've seen in some of the tutorial videos), so I'm at a dead end there as well.
I've searched on XDA and around the web and have come across a couple of muddied solutions, but right now I'm seeing my only options as:
- Wait 90-180 days for the PRL on the SIM to update automatically.
- Contact Verizon and request a new SIM
- Attempt to use some intense developers tools to plant my own PRL (if so, does anyone have a good tutorial link or a good PRL to use?)
I could really use some expert advice on how to tackle this problem, or at least some insight as to what my possible solutions are. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried going back to a stock romantic and seeing if you can switch networks back? Or maybe reflashing the radios/modem see if that does anything?

You are going to have to get a new SIM, using *228 burn the SIM up and you're lucky you even pick up any service with it, just go to a Verizon store and tell them what you did, the *228 part not rooting and romming, and you need a replacement SIMA because it messes your phone up. It will be free.
The only acceptable way to update it on LTE phones is to take the SIM out, boot the phone back up, let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes, power off, reinsert SIM, reboot phone. That's the only one I know of, there may be other ways to do it but that is the easiest.

Internet settings for Life Mobile (EE) in UK

Hello there,
I have been using Tesco Mobile with my Redmi Note 2 for a couple of months now and have had no problem. I decided to switch networks to a VPN called Life Mobile. They use EE's network in the UK. Since putting in the sim card today I have not been able to connect to the mobile network. I am wondering if anyone else on this network with this phone could help? I have called Life Mobile's helpline and all they wanted to do was run me through EE's apn settings. I had already used their app and also searched elsewhere on the web to find a few different APN settings but none of them worked.
One thing I'm wondering about if whether or not the custom ROM/firmware (MUI 7 I believe) that the phone shipped with (bought online from China by the way) is having anything to do with the internet problems. I get the feeling the customer service for Life Mobile were fobbing me off when they said that maybe my phone just isn't compatible with their network. Phone calls and texts work fine by the way.
Does anything think flashing the phone to the standard android ROM that's available would have any affect on the internet settings. I'm no mobile expert, and with the phone not being on general sale in the UK yet as far as I know, I would appreciate your help to get this internet/mobile data settings issues sorted, as I do use my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for comments and help.
I definitely know that the ROM that came with my phone from Gearbest was the worst piece of software that I have ever used in my life... ever. Check your MIUI build number and see if it's something like 5.xx.xx or 7.xx.xx. If it's something more like 77.55.66, then you have a knock-off and it may be eating your battery, performance, and experience (the original ROM Gearbest flashed on my phone had so much bloatware that the antivirus warned me about one of the programs every ten minutes, and heated up significantly on the home screen). If you have an unofficial ROM, try flashing a developer weekly or stable.
Hi all.
Well, would you believe it, I have spent a large part of the day trying to figure this out and finally I've done it. I'm not quite sure how but I've done it. I'll explain briefly to help anyone else who may be facing the same problem. It seems that changing the network preference setting within the sim settings from LTE to 3G did the trick. Life Mobile does not support 4G as far as I'm aware. That's no problem for me as I'm perfectly happy using 3G when necessary. After doing that and fiddling with the network settings, eventually reverting back to the automatic selection of the network as EE and using the APN default settings as given by the sim when it first was entered into the phone, things suddenly start to kick into life and we had INTERNET!
Thanks for your help in resolving this, and happy New Year to everyone.

Hi mate,
I'm having the same issue now on life mobile, I've checked all the settings are right but still not picking up mobile data. Any suggestions? Constantly restarting it hoping something will be different but nothing so far.
Cheers

Driving me crazy as well (on a Lenovo K3 Note). Still have the Tesco SIM in there. Was going to port the number on Monday, but might get them to take the damn thing back!
Tried all the suggestions above, but nothing working. Tried both SIM slots with and without the other SIM, but nothing. Grrrrr....

Well, they sent me a new SIM card and I had all the same problems until I switched on "data roaming" and it now works fine (it didn't do anything with the last SIM though, when I tried it in another phone, I had to have date roaming on in order to even get a regular signal- data still did not work). I have seen transient "R" occurring when the SIM was activated/deactivated so had suspected this as a problem.
